Waving his hand to signal everyone to let go of Warwick, Scott said with a smile: "For God's sake, I forgive your fault."

After seeing Scott's strength, Warwick then understood why Earl Auston was killed! It was obvious that the person in front of him was a very dangerous person, and he was very decisive in doing things. If he went against him, he would be afraid that he would have a good end.

Thinking of this in my heart, Warwick had already developed a desire to retreat. After all, he was not in his territory at this moment, and his family and life might be threatened at any time, so it would be better to go back as soon as possible.

"Earl, this is a gift from Lord Richard, Duke of York, to thank you for your help this time! At the same time, Lord Richard, Duke of York, also expressed that he is willing to cooperate with you at some time in the future." While speaking, Warwick ordered someone to give him a gift.

I casually scanned the gifts, but found that there were some gold coins and other things inside. Judging from the scale, it should be as much as 10,000 pounds.

After receiving the gift with a smile, Scot nodded and said, "Please help me bring a message to the Duke. I am willing to cooperate with the Duke without conflicting with the interests of the Lancaster family."

"Thank you for the reception of the Count, I'll stay soon." After saying this, Warwick hurriedly left with the man, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

Looking at Warwick who was leaving, Scott felt a sense of wining over. After all, Warwick is still very famous in the history of the Kingdom of England.

Not only does he have excellent military command skills, but he also has very strong personal breakthrough ability. He is a powerful general who can lead the army to fight. If he gathers such people over, Norfolk's strength will definitely be even stronger.

After seeing Warwick off, Leo and others went down to do things. Scott was about to go back to rest, when the attendant ran in again: "Earl, there are a few merchants outside who want to see you!"

"Businessman?" Scott frowned: "Let them wait in the vestibule, I'll go there right away."

"Yes, Count!" The entourage agreed and ran away.

After quickly returning to the room and changing into a lightweight set of clothes, Scott slowly left the vestibule.

When Scott just arrived at the entrance of the front hall, several businessmen inside had already noticed Scott with sharp eyes. At that moment, several people hurried forward to salute.

After coming to the main seat, he lowered his head and glanced at the few people carefully, Scott then asked the few people to give up: "Get up!"

Several businessmen bowed their heads and thanked them, and then stood on both sides and did not dare to sit down.

After Xiao Mi sipped her water, Scott asked lightly: "Where are you businessmen? I heard that you are here to see me this time?"

A businessman hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Master Earl, we are from the Cambridge area. This time we came to Norfolk to ask for you!"

Scott tilted his head and said playfully, "Oh? Come specifically to meet me? Then what are you here to meet me? Don't you know what happened between me and Earl Auston?"

Not understanding why Scott said such words, the poor merchant could only tremble in a trembling voice: "Of course we know about you and Earl Auston, but we believe that this matter must not be your fault! After all, in the Cambridge area, Earl Auston's reputation has never been very good! Therefore, if such a thing happens, Earl Auston must have provoked you first! His end is just the punishment given to him by God with your hands!"

I have to say that this businessman is very good at speaking, at least these words made Scott feel very comfortable.

In a good mood, Scott also became kind and said: "Congratulations, you have successfully won my favor. Tell me, why come here to see me?"

"My Count, your Norfolk canal connects the Cambridge area with the sea, so we hope to use your Norfolk canal to help us transport goods!"

Afraid that Scott misunderstood, the merchant quickly added: "Of course, we will definitely pay the check-in fee according to the tariffs in the Norfolk area!"

After saying that, the merchants looked at Scott with hope.

Scott lowered his head and thought, "When I was building the canal, my main purpose was to facilitate our Norfolk area. It can be said that I did not intend to open it to the public. As for the final connection of the canal with the Cambridge area, it is a pure coincidence! But now you have come to me and have said everything to this. If I do not agree to your conditions, it seems that I am very unkind."

After hearing Scott's words, several businessmen cheered and excited.

"Thank you, Earl, you are so good!"

"May the Lord bless you peace, great Count!"

"You are such an angel-like existence! Sacred and noble, friendly and handsome."

Hearing the praise from the merchants, Scott interrupted them: "Don't be too happy too early, I haven't finished some words yet!"

Several businessmen quickly listened.

Run the throat, Scott continued: I can indeed promise you that your merchant ships will enter my canal! But I still have a few rules you must abide by!"

While speaking, Scott took out the "Crossing River Document" from his arms and handed it to several people: "Let's take a look."

Several businessmen gathered together and looked carefully at the text on the book, and saw that the document read:

Any merchant ship that wants to pass through the Norfolk Canal must comply with the following rules.

Article 1: All merchant ships passing through the canal and not in Norfolk area must pay a checkpoint fee, and the amount of the checkpoint fee is 10% of the value of the cargo carried.

Article 2: All cargoes from non-Norfolk merchant ships must be loaded and unloaded at the starting point and end point, and then these goods must be run by Norfolk merchant ships, and the merchants must pay the transportation fee to the merchant ship.

Article 3: Norfolk has the right to prevent dangerous items from passing through Norfolk areas, such as weapons, armor, war horses, etc.

Article 4: No merchant ship may carry soldiers into the Norfolk area.

Article 5: Any merchant ship must conduct a certain amount of transactions in the capital Norwich, and the transaction price must be carried out according to the local price, and the price must not be increased at will.

All rights of interpretation are owned by the Earl of Norfolk.

After reading this "Crossing River Document", these merchants vomited blood. They had seen various rules and thought they had experienced many cruel rules, but when they saw this rule, all merchants felt that the cruel rules before were nothing compared to those in the Norfolk area. It is no exaggeration to say that the rules in the Norfolk area are really too unscrupulous.
